Banana Republic to sell `Runway' dress

A holiday cocktail dress that was selected as the winning design on a recent episode of the Bravo series "Project Runway" is being sold as a limited edition at Banana Republic, a sponsor of the show.

The two-piece design is a navy empire-waist silk tank dress with a two-button capelet. It's $188 at www.bananarepublic.com and Banana Republic's flagship stores, including on Michigan Avenue in Chicago.

"When our team saw the final design on the model, its elegant look and timeless style was a natural fit for the Banana Republic Holiday collection," Deborah Lloyd, executive vice president of design, said in a press release. "This dress portrays the designer sensibility that Banana Republic customers have come to expect."

Through sales of the dress, a donation will be made to Dress for Success, a non-profit organization that helps to move low-income women into the workforce.

An MVP for Eve-weary eyes

For women who feel falling-down tired either going into or coming out of New Year's Eve, BeneFit's Eye Bright is an MVP (most valuable product).

A soft pink crayon stick, it's an instant pick-me-up for weary, dreary eyes. A quick swipe in each corner does wonders after long nights at play or long days at work. It's $18 at Sephora stores.

A sober style reminder

The maker of the Original Seatbeltbag and Mothers Against Drunk Driving are offering a stylish reminder to drive and ride safely in the final leg of the holiday season.

Through Friday night, the Original Seatbeltbag, a tote woven from red seatbelt webbing, is being offered at $75 at www.seatbeltbags.com. That's a reduction from the usual $97. The bag's maker, Harveys Industries, is doubling its donation to MADD from the usual $10 per bag to $20.

"A seat belt is the best defense against a drunk driver, and the MADDbag is a beautiful reminder of the importance of traveling safe, sober and buckled up," said Cynthia S. Roark, MADD national chairwoman in a press release.

Her 18-year-old daughter was killed in an accident involving a drunken driver.
